- "What a beautiful home. We had everything we needed, from a fully stocked kitchen to all the toiletries we would need. Sitting on the large deck out back gives an incredible view of the mountains. And just off of the deck, is a gas firepit which we sat around at night and gazed at the stars. Very peaceful!" - "I cannot say enough good things about this place. It was incredibly clean, the best view, and the details in the build of the home and the little amenities they offered guests made it feel so luxe. These people absolutely know how to do a vacation rental correctly. Also, the stars in the middle of the night took our breath away with the added bonus of it being completely silent at all times of the day. There is a grocery store in the small town that you drive through to get to the home where you can stock up on all of the essentials, there’s also an incredible coffee shop and another delicious breakfast place in that town. I have nothing negative to say about the location or the home and I would absolutely come back."

- "Was visiting family in town, was the perfect place to stay. Couldn't recommend more!" - "Overall great place but too many distractions. Internet pass word ridiculous complex as example." - "This property was not as advertised. The first thing you see when you click on the listing is "Entire Home" this is not the case. It is the front half of a home that someone lives in full time, only separated by a curtain and a baby gate. There was no privacy and no way to completely lock or secure our "rental". We were completely shocked when arrived to find all of this out as again, the listing states "Entire Home" and also says "You will not share this home with anyone else that is not in your property." We would have never booked this nor paid the price we did had we known the actual situation. The whole living room was covered in pet hair and the floor was dirty. The "Kitchenette" was just a mini microwave and mini fridge. Also the listing stated that there was a washer and dryer available and also an outdoor area, all which were not available and/or listed as Private. Late at night the owner was in the kitchen, which was on the other side of the curtain "divider" making tons of noise and cooking food. It woke our children. Overall the house was cute, but not at all what we had paid for or were expecting. "

- "We picked this cabin because it was surrounded by trees and had a small stream just off the back deck. The cabin wasn't huge or too small, just comfy, it was quiet, with the exception of the small stream which we enjoyed. We saw numerous deer, squirrels and a small bird landed on the deck railing two feet away where we were sitting. It rained every afternoon and evening during our 2 1/2 day stay which was unusual according to our friends we were visiting. Before the rain showers, we sat on the deck visiting and enjoying nature. We hope to stay again here again on our next visit"

- "I booked this VRBO for a family vacation with my elder mom, nephew, and his girlfriend! We take a yearly trip to the wet mountain valley so always looking for new best options for our stay!! Nephew and girlfriend stayed in the basement living area! My mom took the main floor room with the crib, and I took the master! We still had the loft area that was unused - plenty of space!! Master was fantastic and super roomy! It was nice having my own bathroom space! Mom had the bathroom next to her room for convenience, and the nephew used the bathroom in the basement except for showers! Checkin was super easy and straight forward! Communication with the owner was pleasant and efficient! We spent most nights either playing the provided board games or looking through the provided telescope! Fully stocked pantry and all the condiments in the fridge you could possibly want! A nice bottle of wine was provided as a welcome and baskets of candy and chips! Truly lovely, beautiful, roomy, and easy stay!! Thanks so much for opening your home! I look forward to our next stay!!"

- "The house is as advertised. It was quiet with sounds of birds and wind through the Ponderosa Pines.The 180° view was beautiful and ever changing with storm clouds and rainbows. The house is comfortable and well supplied. You won't find a more responsive, friendly and agreeable host than Bob. We loved our stay at this lovely place." - "We brought our two mules to enjoy the spectacular trails in the Wet Mountain Valley. We were more concerned about the accommodations for our animals than those for ourselves. No reason for concern though! Bob described both options well and made sure our animals had multiple suitable options. Everything was perfect—the guest house, the barn, the public trails, and even riding off the property on our “rest” day. Bob was a helpful and informative host. We will be back for sure."

Other things to note:
Google maps is OK as far as the subdivision gate. After that it is incorrect. VRBO will send you detailed driving directions the day before your arrival. Please use these directions to make sure you don't have any trouble getting here.

A note for winter guests: There are a couple of things you should know if you plan to book with us between Nov 1 - May 1. Our guest house sits at 8900 ft. elevation. Although we do not get lots of snow until spring, we often get a few inches at a time throughout the winter and while we do have road maintenance, it may be icy in spots and difficult or impossible for a rear wheel drive vehicle to make it up our lane. I strongly recommend you have a front wheel drive or four wheel drive vehicle to get here during the winter months.

- "Matt is a great host, very communicative and sent perfect directions on how to get to the house. The views from the house are the best! We watched the sunset every single evening. Great location - quiet and tucked away in a valley that is close to hiking, off roading, and Bishop Castle. The bed was super comfortable and we have already talked about coming back to work remotely. The hiking trail on property was great - easy to navigate and showed off the property well. We saw SO much wildlife and loved the hummingbirds and chipmunks especially. We bought extra birdseed to be able to keep feeding them!

- "As usual, the cabin was clean and welcoming. We love the views on every side. The deer and swallows and bluebirds are just an added bonus!" - "This property was everything advertised and more. All the little touches, like hooks in the bathrooms to hang clothes, we’re greatly appreciated. The views were phenomenal. We absolutely loved it." - "With so much to do within any direction this house was a perfect fit for us. There are restaurant options and a small grocery store in town, most places close at 8. I do wish that the bedroom upstairs had blinds/tint or something on the skylights. If you want to sleep in, that isn’t the room for you, it also gets pretty warm up there compared to the rest of the house. We got to watch deer daily in the morning and evenings and it was an very quiet area. The house was well stocked with all necessities and check in/out was a breeze!"

Pinewood Haven is a peaceful retreat located on ten private acres in the beautiful Wet Mountains, about 3 hours southwest of Denver on the outskirts of historical Westcliffe, CO—a designated “Dark Sky Community”. The property offers breathtaking views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and beautiful sprawling meadows. Whether you’re a nature-lover, a stargazer or an adventure-seeker, you’ll love exploring all that Westcliffe has to offer.
Pinewood Haven is the ideal place to relax and unwind. At over 7,800 feet above sea level, Westcliffe offers clean air, wide open spaces, incomparable scenic beauty and some 300 square miles of public lands where one can enjoy hundreds of miles of trails, dozens of mountain lakes and herds of wildlife. These lands are also home to the Sangre de Cristo Wilderness area, Deweese Reservoir and nearby Arkansas River. What’s more, the adjoining towns of Silver Cliff and Westcliffe offer some great restaurants and bars, fun shops, a thriving arts scene, historical attractions and nearly nonstop festivals and events during the summer months.

- "This is a private, secluded, quiet location with wonderful views. The home is very well appointed and has many amenities" - "The home was perfect for my family. It was well stocked, very clean, and the setting was spectacular. The summer sun and heat was significant so having an umbrella or awning for front deck would be useful. Otherwise, very enjoyable. We’ll be back!" - "We cannot say enough good things about our stay! The setting is absolutely beautiful. The house was spotless and so well appointed. We had everything we needed to enjoy our time together. It was one of the best rental experiences we have had to date. Should we ever have occasion/opportunity to return to the area, we would definitely book again."

- "This was our 3rd time staying at Moose Manor. It is an awesome property and Westcliffe is a beautiful area to explore. We will definitely go back again!!! Marino and Herrera families." - "It's obvious the owner cares about the quality of their guest's stay because there was nothing left to chance. Everything we wanted was right at our finger tips. Literally everything. It was a relaxing, fantastic experience and we're looking forward to a return visit in the future. Our only comment -- DSL Internet is terrible. We're a tech heavy family and only one of us to connect to the wireless and browse at a time. Please consider Starlink - it's a game changer in rural areas. ;)"

Definitely coming back!" - "The quality of the Lodge exceeded our expectations. We would love to come back." - "The whole experience exceded my expectations. The site photos were not able to capture the beauty of the home, property or the views. We were in awe from the moment we arrived. Laurie was so gracious. She went above and beyond in doing so many things to make sure our stay was comfortable.I can't wait to return. She thought of everything she and Ken were so thoughtful and kind. Thank you both."

This cozy home is nestled amongst the mountain trees, steps away from many trail heads leading to the Rainbow Trail. How about relaxing on a wraparound deck? See peaks or the dark night sky. Serenity!

- "This place was amazing. It is away from the bustle of town yet within a few minutes drive to Westcliffe. We were frequented by deer, rabbits, and even some turkeys. We did some hiking which was close by and spent lots of time playing inside and outside games. We had no complaints about the house or the view and the owner was easy to contact and communicate with. This was our first time using VRBO and Mrs. Madeleine made it easy to do. We will definitely be coming back."

Enjoy this charming Colorado mountain town a short walk from the quaint downtown and Bluff with amazing views of the Sangre de Cristos. This is a shared house listing; owner lives on property. The Guest Suite includes a bedroom with queen bed, 2nd bedroom with single-over-full bunk bed, living room with gas fireplace and smart TV, mini-kitchenette (microwave, mini-fridge, water cooler, Keurig and dining table), bathroom with shower and tub, and access to courtyard, weather dependent.

The space
The Guest Suite you will be renting is part of a shared-house listing. I live in a separate part of the house. You will have a private entrance and exclusive private access to The Guest Suite.

The house is a bungalow style home with an interesting connection to local mining history. The Guest Suite was originally two separate miner's cabins from the late 1800's that were moved from the old mining towns of nearby Silvercliffe and Rosita then combined into a single dwelling, and later remodeled and enlarged into a beautiful modern home. A history was retained of the original combined dwelling and subsequent modifications, including interesting historical artifacts that were found in the process of remodeling that have been preserved and are available for viewing.

The home sits on a quiet corner in a residential neighborhood one block off Westcliffe's Main Street. A newly renovated small city park is one block away on the corner of Main (Hiway 96) and 4th Street with flower gardens, a pavilion and seating. A larger city park with a playground, ball field, two small pavilions and bathroom facilities is three blocks away in the other direction. Across the street from there is yet another city park with a larger pavilion, playing field, and tennis courts.

Westcliffe is a small, quiet and engaging mountain community whose residents treasure its long ranching and mining history, the surrounding mountains, and the wide open Wet Mountain Valley within which it is located. The altitude of Westcliffe is 7,887 feet above sea level and it is surrounded by mountains, several of which are among the highest in Colorado, soaring to over 14,000 feet. The nearby Rainbow Trail offers great hiking opportunity for all levels of ability. Westcliffe is an internationally certified Dark Sky Community with a rich community calendar of numerous music festivals, other live music, live theater and art festivals year-round.

Bluff Park with its amazing wide open views of the Wet Mountain Valley and Sangre de Cristo mountain range is an easy 4 block walk westward. There you will also find Smokey Jack Observatory that hosts star-viewing parties and public events. Bluff Park is also the location of Westcliffe's famous High Mountain Hayfever Bluegrass Festival held every July, as well as other live events.

All of downtown Westcliffe is available with an easy stroll. Within easy walking distance, you'll find unique restaurants and eating establishments, pubs, coffee shops, art galleries, a bowling alley, grocery store, liquor store, florist and gift shop, bakeries, two thrift stores, the vibrant local library and shopping for jewelry, outdoor gear, clothing, gifts, and local souvenirs. Several churches are also within easy walking distance.

I am an experienced AirBnb Host with a prior long history of Super Host status managing a previously owned property in Wisconsin. This property is Town of Westcliffe approved as a short-term-rental, License #24-082724.

The Guest Suite has two private bedrooms. The front bedroom has a queen bed, and the second bedroom has a twin-over-double bunkbed, sleeping up to 3 in that room. The living room has a gas fireplace, smart TV, high speed internet, comfortable seating, a stately antique Steinway grand piano that experienced piano players are welcome to use, and a small dining and kitchenette area with microwave, Keurig, mini-frig with freezer, water dispenser, and dining table. The full bathroom has both a shower and a clawtooth bathtub. The front porch is available for guest private use, and the comfortable courtyard is also available for use during warmer months, weather dependent. The courtyard is shared use with the owner.

Private laundry facilities are available for use upon request and prior arrangement for a reasonable additional cost.

The garage and driveway are typically not available for guest use; however, upon request accessible parking on the driveway with barrier free entry is available.

I share my life and house with my sweet and friendly 3 year old border collie. While she will not have access to the Guest Suite during your stay, if anyone in your party has pet dander allergies or a fear of active medium-sized dogs, you should choose someplace else to stay. There may also be normal and very occasional barking.

The Guest Suite you will be renting is part of a shared-house listing. I live in a separate part of the house. You will have a private entrance and exclusive private access to The Guest Suite. The entire front of the house is the guest suite, separated by a gate and curtain from the private owners quarters. My living quarters are in the back part of the house. NOT AVAILBLE FOR GUEST USE: my kitchen; the backyard; the driveway and garage; and my living quarters.

I am an experienced AirBnb Host with a long history of Super Host status managing a previously owned property in Wisconsin. Check out many prior guest reviews!

Other things to note
In my opinion, Westcliffe is the sweetest, friendliest and most engaging small Colorado mountain town you could ever visit, with amazing access to the best the Colorado Rockies have to offer with far less of the crowds you'll find in mountain towns closer to Denver.

Visitors to Westcliffe should be aware that some of Westcliffe's shops, restaurants and other features are seasonal, that is open for business only during Spring, Summer and Fall seasons. The Colorado winter in Westcliffe has its own charm and beauty, but you can not count on consistent availability of all restaurants and shopping. Even during Spring, Summer and Fall seasons, hours of local establishments may vary from what is posted.

If you know you have specific needs or interests, call those establishments ahead of time to assure they will be open during your stay.

Town streets are well maintained throughout the winter by the Town of Westcliffe and the famous Colorado sun does a superb job of melting snow and brightening the winter days even after a significant snowfall. Over the course of the year, the temperature typically varies from 14°F to 80°F but is rarely below 3°F or above 86°F. Perfect for lovers of the four seasons! Fall colors are amazing.

For detailed information about weather patterns in Westcliffe, consult online weather resources such as Weather Spark.

Other things to note
PET STAYS PLEASE READ. We have 4 dog-friendly spaces…Little Brick Lodge, Mountain Hideaway, The Avenue Suite, and The Blue Skies Suite. By law trained service dogs are allowed in any space (see below) We do NOT allow cats or any other animals.

Guests traveling with their pet MUST advise us and agree to be charged $55 for up to two dogs per stay.   If you have a highly shedding breed or if there is extra heavy pet use during the stay, you may be charged $75, $95, or cost of damages

Because we do love our furry guests, we ask that no animals be left alone in an accommodation so as to avoid damage, and/or whining/barking due to scared pets in an unfamiliar space.  We allow dogs so you can vacation WITH your furry friend, not so you can leave your pet alone all day or evening. If you feel you have a situation meriting a different consideration, please just reach out to the owner/manager, Bianca.    You will be called if complaints are received and must return immediately to handle your pet situation or the reservation may be canceled without refund.

Please do not try to sneak pets in thinking we can’t tell, as that creates an uncomfortable situation for us all. 

We leave a basket of old towels and sheets to help cover furnishings to protect against hair, dirt, and towels for muddy feet… please help us keep our pet cleaning fees low by using these, and please DO NOT wash pets in our bathrooms

Service animals, which are individually trained to perform tasks for those with disabilities, are allowed in ALL spaces and, by law, are not required to pay a pet fee.  In consideration of those with allergies and the extra cleaning required, we kindly ask guests to make an effort to book one of our dog-friendly spaces first if available/possible and let us know so we can account for extra cleaning time. We are legally permitted to ask: 1. Whether the guest requires their service animal because of a disability, 2. What work or task the service animal has been trained to perform.  

Emotional support animals are NOT considered service animals under the ADA or Colorado law. So we welcome them in any of our 4 dog-friendly spaces only. Pet cleaning fees DO apply for emotional support animals.

Enjoy this top notch newly remodeled Colorado Property, beautifully decorated with original artwork and photography by Colorado artists, walking distance from downtown and local events.

This beautiful little town features one of the grandest views of the Rocky Mountains and the Sangre de Christo range you will find, true dark skies for star gazing, a plethora of summer and fall activities, and much more within just an hour of town. There are dozens of high altitude lakes to hike, mountain bike trails galore, horse back riding, shopping, and great food... as well as peace and quiet when desired. We are just 45 minutes from white water rafting companies, the town of Salida, two hours from the sand dunes, and for winter skiing an hour and a half from Monarch Ski area. Surrounded by ranches, local small farms, and strong Amish / Mennonite communities there is a wonderful blend of lifestyles.

This property is so special and unique as it is was once built as a rec house and lodge for the ski area once proposed on the mountain side. Although that never came to fruition, this neat building was built and spent a few decades changing identities, always giving hospitality to visitors. We have now been able to create four different and spacious guest spaces in a quiet and dark residential area, each with a very unique feeling to them.

The town is perfect, close to everything a Colorado enthusiast and lover of outdoors would want to be close to, convenient to get to, and yet just far enough away from the overcrowding, which is taking over much of the rest of the state, away from here.

Come and enjoy small town Colorado!

Please do not try to sneak pets in thinking we can’t tell, as that creates an uncomfortable situation for us all. 

We leave a basket of old towels and sheets to help cover furnishings to protect against hair, dirt, and towels for muddy feet… please help us keep our pet cleaning fees low by using these, and please DO NOT wash pets in our bathrooms

Service animals, which are individually trained to perform tasks for those with disabilities, are allowed in ALL spaces and, by law, are not required to pay a pet fee.  In consideration of those with allergies and the extra cleaning required, we kindly ask guests to make an effort to book one of our dog-friendly spaces first if available/possible and let us know so we can account for extra cleaning time. We are legally permitted to ask: 1. Whether the guest requires their service animal because of a disability, 2. What work or task the service animal has been trained to perform.  

Emotional support animals are NOT considered service animals under the ADA or Colorado law. So we welcome them in any of our 4 dog-friendly spaces only. Pet cleaning fees DO apply for emotional support animals.

Other things to note
Most mapping apps are OK as far as the subdivision gate. After that most are incorrect. AirBnB will send you detailed driving directions the day before your arrival. Please use these directions to make sure you don't have any trouble getting here.

A note for winter guests: There are a couple of things you should know if you plan to book with us between Nov 1 - May 1. Our guest house sits at 8900 ft. elevation. Although we do not get lots of snow until spring, we often get a few inches at a time throughout the winter and while we do have road maintenance, it may be icy in spots and difficult or impossible for a rear wheel drive vehicle to make it up our lane. I strongly recommend you have a front wheel drive or four wheel drive vehicle to get here during the winter months.

A note on cleaning: We use a professional cleaning service after each booking. Sometimes it could be a week or two between guests and during that period it is possible for a fly or spider to make its way into the house and die. I have received unfair negative feedback in the past from people claiming the house was not cleaned because they found a dead fly or two in the house. Please be careful not to rush to judgement on such things. Unfair negative feedback is very detrimental in this endeavor.
